Re: OT: Ebay strangeness grows stranger still
That's good. I had a guy try a different scam the other day where he sent a bogus eBay second chance offer on an item I had bid on. He also was just looking for account info. Lots of scams out there. -Brendan --- Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, I've seen the phony paypal messages, but this > was real. It didn't > ask for account info.

Re: OT: Ebay strangeness grows stranger still
No, I've seen the phony paypal messages, but this was real. It didn't ask for account info. I t just said I had been paid. Paypal alerts you when someone makes payment.. The funds were transfered.

Delete that email. It's a scam to steal your PayPal account info.

Re: OT: Ebay strangeness grows stranger still
Thanks Peter, The notice was from my message file in "My Ebay." And sure enough, I had to reset my password to get back in next time. Seems all above board. But you're right, you do have to be careful and think about what you're doing.

RE: OT: Ebay strangeness grows stranger still
G'day Paul. I had a similar thing happen earlier this year. Payment was made into my Paypal account. I withdrew it to my bank account immediately. An hour later, the buyer tried to cancel payment and apply to Paypal for a refund. If I was you, I'd be withdrawing the money ASAP just to be on the safe side. My Ebay account had been compromised requiring a new password be set. Hooroo. Regards, Trevor.

Re: OT: Ebay strangeness grows stranger still
You're right, he did retract. Or, more likely, the bid was retracted without his knowledge. The retracted bid was his second bid. His first bid remained the high bid after all the others were retracted. I spoke to one of those whose bid was retracted. He thought I did it. He said he certainly didn't request that. he also bid again and was the second highest bidder. I thinkk that what happened was that the one guy who has retracted 81 bids, or some obscene number like that, retracted. Ebay then retracted four other bids along with his. I don't know if that was because the bid chain was broke, or if it was just a system glitch. But I believe only the one bid was intentionally retracted. In any case, it's over, and I think the buyer is okay. We'll see.
